Unlocks for use in PvP or heroes, of course.

Unlocks aside, just for the title to show off, even if it's a pretty worthless title.

I would say do vanquish and protector and guardian. farm titles to. might as well work on 2 titles at once.

Vanquish is clear all mobs, Guardian is all missions + bonus on hardmode, but protector? (all missions + bonus on normal?)

2000 xp in about 2 mins is slow to you? I do agree that it's boring, but that's why I bring someone with me. We all rotate who does it every 4000 faction or so.

My Ranger was well on his way to Tyrian Kill Hunter and that's before titles actually came out (didn't have Factions at the time of would have had that too) I enjoy doing it and I liked him having everything.

FFF stands for "Fast Faction Farming". It is a technique to quickly amass Kurzick or Luxon faction via the repeatable quests. Each time you do it, you get 2,000 experience, thus, you can get skill points pretty fast that way. Duel of the Houses or Securing Echovald Forest can be used for the Kurzick side. The Jade Arena can be used for the Luxon side.

Soloing outside of Sifhalla I get 245xp per kill... yes 2000 can be slow when you can drop thirty enemy in about a minute.

That still isn't slow. It's just slower than what you can get there.

Hmm, thank you for these nice tips, I'm gonna try it out as soon as bro stops bugging me :P

numri · Feb 15, 2008, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Are there any builds where i can just tank all of them and do it solo without all the henchies? Or are there enchantment breakers

I just got my Legendary Skill Hunter title yesterday (FINALLY!) and towards the end skill points were really hard to come by. I had a lot of success with doing HM vanquishing (and missions) while using scrolls. Even the cheapo scrolls that cost like 300 gold really help to bump up the amount of XP you get. In addition, lots of the bosses will drop those scrolls in HM.

If you bring along lockpicks, you can consistently get tomes/golds that help to finance both your scrolls and the cost of skill points. The drops are even better in HM. I always have a never-ending supply of golds that I can turn around and sell in the auctions.

Once you get close to the end, keep in mind that you get 5k experience for each elite you cap, in addition to whatever XP you've gained from killing all the mobs before the boss. You can even combine the vanquishing and the capping of elites. That was often a great way to get more XP when the boss was deep into the zone and I had to kill most of the enemies anyways.

Good luck!
